An expert panel discusses the various Batmen of yesteryear and the validity of their varying interpretations.

"We're here to explore not the mainstream
Batman, but the other iterations of Batman that have occurred throughout
the media," said Ferranti. "A gentleman by the name of Bat-Mite
actually put it best on an episode of 'The Brave and the Bold,' so let's start with a clip."

With that, Miereanu played a clip from the episode "Legends of the
Dark Mite," in which the fifth dimensional imp addresses the concept of
"Not my Batman," to a parody of a convention audience.

"Batman's rich history allows him to be interpreted in a multitude of
ways," said Bat-Mite. "To be sure, this is a lighter incarnation, but
it's certainly no less valid and true to the character's roots as the
tortured avenger crying out for mommy and daddy."

"That was so meta I actually turned inside out," said Patterson following the clip.

"Essentially we're here to make the case that there's room for more
than one kind of Batman," said Ferranti. "To celebrate these other sides
of Batman as a character but also to note that each one of us, at some
crucial point in childhood met, 'The Batman,' but also met, 'A Batman.'"
